It's a girl!!
12 weeks |
Cutting to the chase, however, I did want a boy. We both did. In fact, I'd always said that should I ever get pregnant one day, I was convinced that I would only make boys. I like boy things and I love the idea of having a mommy's boy. I love my little almost-2 year old nephew so much (not that I don't also love my niece, but he is just special to me as a little man!) and felt such a repoire with him - I felt like I would only ever produce boys. Yes, I know this is crazy-talk. I know we don't get to pick and choose! But, I was dreamin'!
Even after learning of the pregnancy, I was still convinced it was a boy. During my last appointment for 2012, the doctor said I could learn the gender on February 4, and the countdown began! I could not WAIT. I was so anxious the day of the appointment that Joel had to take a break from holding my hand because of how sweaty it was. I warned him it would get slick :).
The ultrasound tech began to perform the full anatomy scan as we anxiously awaited our fate. Joel and I both discussed ahead of time that since we didn't want to have a child in the first place, it would probably be a girl since we especially wanted a boy! Yes, the G-man continues to test us and remind us that this is His plan, not ours! Sure enough, our lady confirmed the gender as a girl. Joel said the moisture from my hands was immediately sucked dry and the look on my face was somber. Yeah, it's true. I cried during the ultrasound.
I had the boy's life already planned for him - the bedding/theme picked out. His name. All of his little clothes I couldn't wait to get for him. I wouldn't even so much as glance at girl stuff in the stores because I just KNEW we were having a boy. Wrong!
After the u/s appt was over, I had my monthly appointment immediately following it, where they confirmed that the baby looked as it should for this timeframe, and that because she was so active they had a hard time accounting for all her fingers and toes. The tech literally could not count each individual digit because of how active she was. Still, I'm not worried about her, and if she comes out with a finger or toe missing - then we'll count our blessings! Worse things could happen.
20 weeks - I <3 her so much already :) |
